When The Nightmare Happenned ( I )
The accident happenned about three months ago but until now I am still disturbed by a creepy nightmare. The same bad dream tease me almost all the night. I'm kinda bored but I'm still creeped everytime it comes to my tight sleep.
Yeah, I was in the cram school two hours before the tragic incident. It was raining and unfortunately I found that someone has stolen my new umbrella. I grumbled a bit then I tried to reach the subway station before the rain gets heavier. Sadly the luck wasn't on my side. I lost my wallet and of course my whole money too in the way. I didn't realize it until I reached the subway station. When I groped my jeans pocket, I only rubbed a bare pocket.
Oh my... What a bad luck! It's raining now, and I have nothing to pay the subway ticket.
Luckily I didn't lost my cellphone either. So I called my elder sister, the only person in my family who will not get angry if she is asked to pick me up in such the rain.
"Hello, Sis. Where are ya now?" I started the conversation.
"Um, I'm still in the concert hall. What's wrong, Light?"
"Oh, eh. Yeah, can you pick me up in the subway station? I lost my wallet!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't leave the concert now. I will perform in the next five minutes, and I still have to play in two more stanzas and the closing," her voice heard so regretted that I can neither get angry nor blame her.
"But," she continued "If you object to waiting for another two hours, we can go home together. The concert will be finished in one and three fourths hour,"
Huhuh.. a very Brittish accent. She is heard like a Brittish who learns Japanese
"Well I think I can wait. But promise me not to be late,"
She promised to, then she said goodbye and stopped the call. I chuckled again. My sister has changed so fast. Before she went to London her pronounciation was not good. But when she came back last two years her pronounciation was changed a lot. And now, it's hard to recognize her voice in a call. She uses the Brittish accent in her Japanese. Well, last three years she got a very precious scholarship from a high-qualitied music academy in London, when she was 16. Yeah, she is a very talented pianist. She played Maxim Mrvica's Fur Elise at the age of four, two months after she started learning piano. She is also not stupid, she almost never had any problems in lessons. Somestimes I feel jealous to her.
Finally she arrived at 10 o' clock with Sayu with her. Sayu smirked at me and said that Aya has treated her an ice cream. I was really angry but I couln't make my anger comes true. She wasn't late. The Brittish lifestyle made her so much more discipline. That was truly my fault. I phoned her after waiting for almost two hours, waiting for a kindhearted man, hoping he would give my wallet back.
We had spent more than one hour but we hadn't reached the home yet. We were trapped in a traffic jam. I gave her a glance but she gave no response. I couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why don't ya take the shortcut !? Do you want to come home in the next day? Come on ! It's almost 11.30. Just take a shortcut and bet on me, we'll come home in 10 minutes!"
"Light, it's dangerous. The criminals use to gather in small alleys. They will harm us," She answered softly.
"Don't be silly. Take the shortcut now!"
She turned the car, took the shortcut. We entered a small dark alley. I was a bit scared, but I tried to hide it. I would be really shame if she knew.
Suddenly a guy stopped our car. The guy looked so cruel. He pierced his lips, ears,and tounge. Tattoo covered his arms and legs A rusty chain connected the piercings. Sayu screamed and cried, she was really afraid and so was I.
The guy showed us a sharp small knife, then he waved his hand, signed us to scram. Aya looked panicked, so she calmed herself before switched the car on. While she was holding her panting breath I saw a man in the alley corner. Some criminals were hitting him. He was bleeding and bruised.
I took my cellphone and called the police officer, aked for some help. I told him our location. Unfortunately I forgot to shut the car window and the bastards heard me.
"Catch them! Kill them! They has called the police!" The biggest one, maybe the gang leader shouted, commanded his subordinates to vanish us. Then they chased our car angrily, like a colony of zombies.
Aya drived her car out the alley, but I stupidly pulled the brake.
"Hold for another minutes here. The police will come soon and we have to show hem the specific location" I told here hurrily and quietly.
She looked at and whispered to the crying Sayu. Then she took a deep breath.
"Don't be selfish, Light. Don't be so heroic that you ignore us and yourself. It's all above our control.
I pulled the main key off. The machine stopped running. I shook my head. She caught my glance then she gave up. She looked frustated.
I didn't stopped my dumbness there. After waited for ten minutes I decided to come back to save the poor man. I told Aya my plan but she pushed me away.
"Wait, I'll help you if it will make us come home soon. Tell me what to do!" Sayu screamed to me. Well, I doubt her ability but I had no choice.
At the next minute I and Sayu were realizing our plan. I brought the key with me, to prevented Aya escaped away. I felt a bit regret actually. I also worried about my sisters.
Yeah, now I and Sayu were heading our silly and harmful plan. Actually I had no second options if my first plan doesn't work smoothly, but I maybe someone has washed my brain thotoughly that I couldn't think well again...
